mm 20.6 - Looking east (trail north) on the beginning of the northbound descent from North Lafayette. This point is just north of the junction with the Skookumchuck Trail. The trail follows the obvious ridge in the picture, going over Mt. Garfield (the prominent peak in the center of the picture) and eventually climbing to South Twin, the peak on the far right in the distance. The day was warm and hazy which cut down on the views.

mm 21.3 - View to the west from the ridge of Mt. Lafayette. Greenleaf Hut (not on AT) is in center of picture. The mountain with the spectacular cliff is Cannon Mt. on the other side of Franconia Notch. The two large peaks on the left in the distance are North and South Kinsman, both of which the AT crosses.
